CONGRATS to Ann (Dockside) our new FS this week! She has a fab gallery! I found a lot of inspiration, including this card which inspired mine. I kept the blue/brown, used different stamps, made it a one layer instead of a three layer. As well, I was inspired by this card at Stampscapes, yesterday's IC site.
With my IO and MFT stamps, I stamped four layers of Ranger distress ink for the bkgrd. I stamped the trees in Ranger distress vintage photo. Over the top, I stamped the trees a little more to the right in SU kraft white to get the "snow" outline I was going for but alas, it doesn't show. :( I tried to do the outline by hand with my new Ranger, white, picket fence pen but it won't write on either nib, it's dried out w/no ink coming out. :( Note that I bought it new in Nov and stored it horizontally as recommended. I have also had this same problem with other of their distress markers but mainly the fine nib side. Anyway ... my white Signo pen (which I can't live w/o) just ran out last week. So ... b4 I send this card I will get the "snow" outline on the trees one way or another ... hee.
Thanks for looking!

This came out so well! I love your sky - what a fun technique and you couldn't have used better images or a better sentiment. Great card! HUgz

I knew right away which card this cases! You have caught that cold winter look perfectly! That quote is one of my absolute favourites and really works well with the theme. Gorgeous! Thank you so much for taking time to make a card for me this week. I really appreciate it!
